To add the Map Role property into the data table that you are analyzing:
Note: Perform these steps only if your custom boundary files do not reside in the default custom maps
directory.
1. Right-click on the column containing the boundaries and select Column Properties > Map Role.
2. Select Shape Name Use below Map Role.
3. Next to Map name data table, enter the relative, or absolute path to the -Name map data table.
If the map data table is in the same folder, enter only the filename. Quotes are not required when the
path contains spaces.
4. Next to Shape definition column, enter the name of the column in the map data table whose values
match those in the selected column.
5. Click OK.
6. Save the data table.
When you generate a graph in Graph Builder and assign the modified column to the Map Shape zone,
your boundaries appear on the graph.
